One person died and another was injured after a speeding car rammed into a tree in Thane in the wee hours of Wednesday. The incident took place at 5:20 am near Raunak Park in Upvan.

The passengers in the car – Shivani Bhanushali (25) and Sumit Dhakankar (33) – were returning from Yeoor. Shivani, who was driving the black land cruiser, said that a dog came in front of the car, so she diverted the vehicle towards the edge of the road to save the animal.
